Dudley McIlhenny has offered his patio, for a BBQ and a Sing-A-Long. Plan to join us at 5:00 p.m. and we’ll have
some coals going for the BBQ. Bring your own meats or sandwiches and something to share (appetizers, salads,
sides or desserts) with 4 to 6 others. BYOB. Space is very limited inside so we will be outdoors on the spacious
patio. Bring a jacket as it gets cooler after sunset. Following the picnic we’ll have a Sing-A-Long -think folk
music, campfire songs, joke songs, etc. We usually start with “This Land is Your Land” and end up with “Happy
Trails To You”. Acoustic instruments are welcome. Please bring a chair, to ensure adequate seating. Dudley’s
home is located behind a small office building (Claims Management) at 1459 E 3900 S. Go north on the driveway
just east of the building. It’s the first house on the left. Plan on a fun evening of socializing, enjoying good
food and an opportunity to stretch your vocal chords (and bring any acoustic musical instrument that you’d like
to play.) We’ll wrap it up by 10 PM. For questions or additional information contact Fred Tripp at 435-649-4507
or email at fredgtripp@gmail.com or Frank Bernard at Frankbernard55@earthlink.net. Be sure to add your name
to our email list to receive updates for this and future Sing-A-Longs. Just go the WMC web site: Click on Member

Hike from the base of Park City Mountain Resort up to the Wasatch Crest Trail via Spiro Trail and Thaynes Canyon.
Pass Shadow Lake and numerous historic mine structures along the way. Final ascent to crest will be via
PineCone Ridge. We will summit three peaks in the area -- Scotts Peak, Tri-County Peak, and Jupiter Hill. See
BCC, the Western Uintas, and Heber Valley from a different perspective. Good views of Clayton Peak, 10420,
and Bonanza Flat. Portions of this hike are on trails that are also used by mountain bikers. If the group is tired
of hiking the last 1.5 miles, there is an option to downride the free Town Lift Chair. The free Park City Transit will
take us from the Jeremy Ranch park-n-ride to PCMR and back. Return to the park-n-ride should be before 6 if
the shuttle is used, or sooner if we carpool.
